# Why Do Scheduled Facebook Posts Sometimes Fail to Publish?

I’ve had posts sit in Facebook’s planner with a scheduled time, then remain unpublished after that time passes. It doesn’t happen every time, which makes it hard to tell whether I’m dealing with a permissions issue, a scheduling glitch, or something about the post itself.

For people managing a Page, what checks are most useful when **scheduled Facebook posts** don’t go live? I’m especially curious whether Page access levels, time-zone settings, or post formats like Reels can make a difference.
